A member asked:
I have been diagnosed with retinoschissis where my retina is split in two and leaking. what is my recoup with laser procedure? recoup if o r surgery?

Have laser first: Retinoschisis is usually treated with laser so the split retina can be walled off and prevent progression. Leaking of fluid from the split retina is unusual and this may require surgery to seal the leak.
